Flagler County Sheriff Staly helps drive new law targeting crypto ATM fraud

Florida House Bill 505, signed into law in June 2026, mandates cryptocurrency kiosk operators to register with state regulators, display fraud warnings, implement blockchain analytics to block criminal transfers, cap daily transactions, and provide 72-hour refunds for fraud victims. The law addresses $2.75M+ in crypto ATM fraud from Flagler County alone, predominantly targeting seniors.
